Slowplaying that flop will only lead to disaster.

I did not exactly slow play it although I see where you are coming from. I was not sure where I was because the straight was on the board and donkey boy bet out pretty hard. So I called. Then I got smarter and when he bet weak I decided to ask where I was. His cold call said ahead (I think). The river card gave me as close to the nuts as I could ask for.. so I took it down.
I can agree with you that slowplaying there is bad. How do you couple thinking you probably have the best hand with losing as little as possible if you do not.

For the record (and I do have the record Waffles) you were wisely instructed to raise by your poker mentor.
I am glad you weren't burned fiercely by this little adventure.
And stay away from Mel. I am not fucking around. You are officially on notice.

How do you couple thinking you probably have the best hand with losing as little as possible if you do not.
Here I'll give you some pointers. When value betting, first assign your opponent(s) to a range of hands. Then you look at your hand. Then assess if your hand is ahead of this person's range of hands. If so, shovel money into the pot. If not, proceed cautiously.

You played that to perfection.
The slow play is a lost art, too many internet players push too hard and too fast on hands such as this.
The goal is to extract as much money as possible on any given hand not chase players away by over betting or worse check-raising. You played it perfectly and maximized your winnings to the tune of 100%.
Nice job Waffles.

Interestng hand. Classic case where this guy played crap cards, out of position, and became pot committed. Ah, a guy can dream...and I'll be adding El sadico to my fish list.

Waffles,
nice job stacking me last night, too bad you couldn't hang on to the dough...
Sadly for me and you, you missed me doubling through once (forgive me Mookie) and then stacking a newcomer late. I <3 cash games...

I think I was willing to let this go on the turn IF he made a decent bet. Instead he bets $10 into a $30 pot.. which makes me think he probably does not have the straight. When he calls my raise on the turn I am sure, and when the river card falls I am certain. It was lucky for me he was drawing dead. No outs. I have no idea why he called me on the river.

Yes, Ick and Miami really are pervs :)
